Located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country within an hour’s drive of either Austin or San Antonio, Cottonwood Creek Ranch is easily accessible from Highway 281 on its western approach and Highway 71 from the east. Johnson City, is mere minutes from the front gate. Unique dining, wineries, shopping and attractions of the historic Fredericksburg area await a short journey down the road.  Lakes abound no matter which direction you head. Tee it up on the challenging golf courses of Horseshoe Bay on the shores of Lake LBJ, a mere 30 minutes away. All important facts to know, if one occasionally wishes to venture away from the solitude and beauty afforded by the ranch’s location on the legendary Pedernales River.    

Natural Texas Beauty That Flows Straight To Your Heart   
If the presence of live creeks and majestic rivers inherently increases the value of land, the Cottonwood Creek Ranch is truly a Texas treasure.  Within its 626 acres, a gently streaming tributary courses its way through the lush hill country landscape. Towering Live Oaks and Cedar Elms blend with the myriad of native grasses and wildflowers to create an ever-changing backdrop of color and texture.

Nestled under the canopy of shade trees, a newly renovated and updated six bedroom lodge waits to welcome the Ranch’s new owner. Perfect for weekend getaways and hunting excursions, the lodge can also serve as a headquarters while one is creating their own vision of a ranch home.  The only obstacle will be choosing a site from the many and varied possibilities the ranch lays out before you. The lodge’s most desired amenity is just steps from the back door: almost 1,780 feet of Cottonwood Creek, whose year-round flow invites you to dip your line for catfish or take a dip in one of the natural swimming holes.

The jewel of the ranch is the expansive frontage on the picturesque Pedernales River. Rare among Texas ranches, the boundaries of Cottonwood Creek Ranch encompass both banks…further ensuring the ability to control privacy. Recreational possibilities abound on the river, from fly-fishing and kayaking to simply indulging yourself with the serenity of a sunset picnic.
The ranch is a paradise for hunting and fishing, rich with whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey and dove. Currently under an agricultural exemption, the land could easily be placed into a wildlife exemption.

Cottonwood Creek Ranch is being offered to one who, in their heart, desires to be a steward of this slice of heritage Texas. A conservation-minded group who wishes to craft a legacy safeguarding the well-being of the ranch’s unique plant and animal life by preserving their natural habitat. A visionary whose goals include protecting the character and spirit of this magnificent landscape from being fractured and developed.
